Collagen is gaining mainstream popularity, but it’s somewhat of an under-loved protein in the dairy-free community. Most protein powders marketed to us are purely plant-based. We rarely hear about the other options, like collagen. It’s known for supporting healthy skin, hair, and nails, and is rich with amino acids. In terms of taste, it’s a bit plain on its own, but it works well as an ingredient, and Primal Kitchen Collagen Drink Mixes make it more interesting with a range of flavors.

Quality product
I tried the Snickerdoodle which did smell remarkably like snickerdoodle cookies! The flavor is also there, but the monk fruit sweetener is notable in the aftertaste. I’m not a big fan of alternative sweeteners, so it’s a little strong for me as a straight up drink, but in smoothies, it’s nice, and the collagen adds some body (and nutrition!). I could see using it in recipes, too.
